Outright Gifts

on 02 January 2013.

Thank you for considering a charitable gift to the South Carolina Lions Foundation (SCLF)! Your donation will enable the SCLF to continue to provide the means for the SC Lions Charitable Services (SCLCS) to serve impoverished South Carolinians in a much deeper and meaningful way!

We know that by donating, you believe in the mission of SCLCS and you want to help make a difference in the lives of the visually and hearing impaired citizens of South Carolina. We also want to make sure that you benefit from providing such a generous gift. Because we are a 501(c)(3) tax exempt charity, all gifts made to the SCLF are eligible for tax deductions.

The most common donations the SCLF receives are "outright" gifts, such as cash, check, or credit card charge, which are used to attend to the immediate needs of those we serve. These outright gifts can be made anytime: in person, online, by phone or by mail.

The SCLF has several outright giving levels for individuals.

Gifts of $1,000 or moreThese gifts are eligible for a Dr. Franklin Mason Fellowship, a recognition that acknowledges the humanitarian efforts of either the donor, or an honoree of the donor's choosing. Recipients of the Dr. Franklin Mason Fellowship receive a plaque and lapel pin from the Foundation. For more information or application click here:

Gifts of $10,000 or moreDonors at this level will be recognized as a member of the Knights of the Blind Society. Members of the Knights of the Blind Society will be inducted at a private function, and honored with a Medallion. In addition, Members will receive exclusive benefits from the SCLF for their donation. Gifts to Knights of the Blind ensure that the mission of the SCLF to serve the SCLCS will continue long into the future, and will also ensure that the SCLCS will be able to help an even greater number of people.
